Ok so I am new to weed eater boats..... (update with pics)

[Excogitate]

He sent me a never before ran 62" +/- gas boat.

It has a engine in it that was custom over hauled by I want to say R&D Hobbies in Las Vegas.

So I have no idea what fuel mixture to run in it. Its never been ran so I am not sure what the break in is like on these etc.


So lets see where do I start?

Mixture try running heavy on the oil better to drown it than burn it. I would say whatever the standard 2 stroke chainsaw oil mixing is. Or look for racing mix and it should be on their.

I believe my neighbor is running 32:1 gas/oil in his saws(not 100% sure) supose one could try the homelite site
edit
after a quicky search...I found it varies oldersaws run 32:1, new saws are running 50:1. if it were me I think I'ld start with the 32:1 mix and adjust from there

Ex,

I have an shockwave 55 with a wed eater engine and the instuctions call for a 40% mix but a 50% mix for the first two tank full runs and just putt around no wideopen till you run 2 full tanks first.

My dad seems to remember it was 50:1 but he was not sure.... I will find out for sure soon. I will have pics tomorrow!

Wow.... nice boat! Nice Dad! :D

That is a Bruce Hansen quick draw - very expensive but very fast!
I run a 26cc Mod. Zenoah, and used to run Bruce Hansen Mod. engines about 10 years ago. Currently I run Amsoil Oil at 32:1 ratio.

The engine you have is 25cc's - and very, very modified! The web site is : http://www.bhhanson.com

They recommend blue marble oil - I would call Bruce to see what ratio he recommends - a standard ratio on this motor may not cut it.

Nice boat!
